SALLY,
Otterbourne Items,

Owing to absence from home our items
failed to materialize last week.
But how is this for winter.
Almost everybody in this neghtorhOod is
talking of putting up ice; but talk is cheap
it takes money and some hard cold knocks to
put it up. w. Gilmore claims to have 200
tons in the house now, and is going to put up
about 40 to so tons more yet W. Fl. Archer
has about p tons up. and is not done yet. G.
". shill contemplates housing some. Mr..
Smith says he is going to house 1000 tons. but
we don't believe he will get over 999 tons.
From such appearances ice will be as cheap
as it was high last year.
Our school district is to be divided. 2h miles
being cut of the north side of the district. A
move is also being made to cut some on the
east. but that petition will be demonstrated
vigorously.
